Scientific Explanations 10 11 Create a double bubble for Science VS. Pseudoscience Scientific Explanations Empirical Evidence Theory Law Scientific Method Models Science Pseudoscience Evidence that is used to support or evaluate a claim. Ex: Observations or measurements Scientific knowledge may change as new evidence is discovered or new scientific interpretations are formed. Scientific explanations are based on empirical evidence, logical reasoning, predictions, and modeling.   Scientific knowledge will change as a result of new evidence. Longstanding explanation of data, normally not mathematical, can be changed if new evidence arises. Longstanding explanation of data, normally mathematical, does not change The process used to organize an experiment to ensure it is able to be replicated The benefits of a scientific model is that you can observe and go in depth with data. The limitations of a scientific model is that it’s not always right and must be remodeled after the data has been proven wrong. The knowledge obtained by observing natural events in order to formulate testable/verifiable laws and principles. Fake science. Things that project themselves as fact rather than opinion and are not supported by evidence Why is it important to distinguish between science and pseudoscience? What evidence do you have to support your claims?

Inside Foldable – you must include 3 examples along with mine. Example Experiments at least 3 The total amount of birds that visited each bird feeder after 1 week Used to show individual sets of Data Must be a double bar to show repetition Used as a snapshot for one moment in the experiment Used in most experiments The amount of birds that visited each bird feeder hour by hour Used to show a change in data over time One object must be changing Shows individual trials or averages Used in timed experiments The percentage of birds that visited each feeder Used to show percentages Must equal 100% (Should never look like pacman) Only applies to a few experiments Outcomes must be broken down into categories that are so specific that something only fits in once.

Create the following graphs using the data provided. The total number of birds visiting each feeder The daily number of birds visiting each feeder. The percentages of the type of bird visiting the feeder with seed and honey. ***30 points*** From your graphs what conclusions can you form about the experiment. In this experiment was repetition used? Explain your answer.
